Points and benefits both fund speaking practice, but sources and expiry differ. Entry: Me → Points & benefits.
Many grant paths: How to get practice minutes.
What’s the difference?
| Points | Benefits | |
|---|---|---|
| Source | Monthly subscription grant, or purchased packs | Platform only (welcome / check-in / invite / campaigns) |
| Can you buy them? | Yes (point packs) | No |
| Validity | Subscription points may reset next month if unused; purchased packs do not expire | About 3 days from grant (follow App copy) |
| Display | Included in “Can still practice” | Shown separately in the ledger |
On the Speaking page
Speaking may show Points: X min and Benefits: Y min. Together they are Can still practice; when blocked, the App guides you to points.
Spend order
- Soon-to-expire benefits
- Subscription points

“Can still practice” = unexpired benefits + available points. See Minutes pool and top-ups.
Buy points
Open Me → Points & benefits → Points and follow the page. Payment/invoices: Usage ledger and billing.
If…
- Can still practice is 0: check expired benefits and monthly points; buy a pack or wait for check-in / campaigns.
- Practice is blocked: see “not enough minutes” in Practice FAQ.
- Ledger looks wrong: filter by date in the points / benefits ledger; contact support with screenshots if needed.
